If you go to Dude Perfect's YouTube channel, you will clearly see that their channel name is Dude Perfect, not corycotton. But whenever I change corycotton in the infobox to Dude Perfect, it comes out as Perfect Dude Perfect. Similarly, if you do Perfect Dude, it comes out as Dude Perfect Dude. We need to fix this, because readers of this article, will think Dude Perfect's channel is corycotton, even though now their channel name is Dude Perfect. What do you think we should about this?

Anybody familiar with the phrase, "successfully converting the final shots"? From the context in this article, "converting" a shot appears to mean getting a shot or series of shots worth using in the final edit. However, since the phrase comes right after the discussion of hoax charges, it could be confused with something related to that. If "converting" a shot is videographer jargon meaning something other than the term's traditional definition (to convert video or film from one format to another) perhaps an editor who understands it would be willing to unpack that text and make it accessible to ordinary Wikipedia readers. 180.241.227.134 ( talk) 11:04, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
"Converting a shot" is a rather generic and widely used term in sports (particularly basketball see here, here, and here, at least in the US) meaning "making a shot". So what it is saying is that it takes multiple filmed attempts before "converting" (or "making") a shot, i.e. they miss multiple times before finally succeeding. Vyselink ( talk) 04:23, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
I was watching a video of theirs called Ping Pong Trick Shots, and in one particular instance, the guy did a front-flip and threw a basketball into a hoop while airborne. Something seemed off, so it spent some time trying to pause the video on the right frame. I did, and sure enough, the ball disappears for a split second. I didn't want to edit the article until there was a consensus on the talk page, but this is pretty damning if you ask me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nickdubois30 ( talk • contribs) 07:23, 23 July 2018 (UTC) It is pretty obvious that there are often cuts and edits between shots. Clearly some of the more simple stunts are achieved by repeated attempts such as the many ping-pong ball into cups. Undoubtedly these guys have become skilled at the many and various techniques and stunts they demonstrate. The channels repeat appeal (subscriber and viewer count) is from several generations of children, as the antics would only amuse even dim witted adults for a very short period. Tellingly, they would do their stunts in front of fans, if they were able to do a broad range of tricks consistently. Like most, I once believed in Father Christmas then progressed to believing magic conjuring tricks, moving onto the David Blaine showmanship bull. Dude Perfect is a combination of skilled camera tricks, persistence and some sporting / throwing skills. In the end, it is about as real Hollywood, otherwise these guys would be millionaire athletes.
The article says that the group has "several" Guinness World Records. Adding the actual number would be a helpful addition to the article. I have not yet found that number, or I would be glad to add and cite it. 38.108.59.142 ( talk) 15:08, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

What's the reason for this assertion. It seems, from a brief skim through, that this is a YouTube channel featuring five people - why are we describing it in these terms?

Currently, Dude Perfect is a multinational sports-entertainment conglomerate that is still managed and features the original five best friends. Their current YouTube subscriber count is 52.9 million subscribers, with over 5 billion views on their channel.
And does that follow a word order from any revision of the Wikipedia article? Nope. 35.141.137.229 ( talk) 15:37, 30 August 2020 (UTC)The Dude Perfect conglomerate has an estimated worth of $20 million. Nowadays, the videos have also expanded into series and the guys have gone on tour to show their tricks off live.
calls it a conglomerate, not a conglomerate company. A conglomerate can just be something made up of other things - so, an entertainment group composed of five people.Well, take the article Alphabet Inc. for example. Its lead says "American multinational conglomerate ..." instead of "American multinational conglomerate company ..." I know that source from distractify I provided only says "conglomerate", but here is another one which says the full thing: [1] which says:
If that is taken from Wikipedia as well, then I don't know what isn't. Even then, conglomerate is a special word for a company made up of smaller companies. It cannot be used for a group of any non-business entities. 35.141.137.229 ( talk) 15:55, 30 August 2020 (UTC)One of the most popular sports channels on YouTube and a multinational sports entertainment conglomerate, Dude Perfect is a group consisting of twins Cory and Coby Cotton, Garrett Hilbert, Cody Jones, and Tyler "Ty" Toney. They all attended Texas A&M University and are former college roommates.
remove 'conglomerate' - companies like Google and Amazon which are larger and more diversified do not use the term in their lead - 'company' works nicelyHowever, Google is a subsidiary of conglomerate Alphabet, and Amazon is not a holding company. I think that leaving Dude Perfect as "company" is enough. Check out their own website, which says "Dude Perfect LLC" at the very bottom: [3] Also, if you google Dude Perfect LLC you will find a LinkedIn page which talks about Dude Perfect like a company. I think we are getting closer to the consensus: Dude Perfect is not a conglomerate, but it at least is a company. 35.141.137.229 ( talk) 16:10, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

The section contains the sentence "The trick shot group which had been founded would never imagine singing lyrics such as "hatin' your gut" in Pet Peeves, their hit song", with no connection to the previous or subsequent sentence. This either (a) makes no sense, or (b) is missing enormous amounts of context. Please, someone who knows what is going on, please change this. -- Lommes ( talk) 21:11, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
